no !!! ospina was the elected one in my fantasy , i already ********ed up all with izquierdo and james
Not watching the match but Ludogorets is a tough, tough team at home. They gave Real Madrid fits in the Champions League too.
Arsenal is getting dominated by PSG. With a defence playing like they are, I don't know if Ospina can save their asses this time. So far down by one and that goal was all on the defence, completely fell asleep. Nothing Ospina could do.
LOL Arsenal's been lucky today.. up 2-1 on a BS penalty and an unfortunate own-goal. And I don't think that up to tha point Arsenal had any shots on goal.
Damnit Alex iwobi!!! Ospina had that header saved and Iwobi shanked it with a header for the own goal Great save and positioning to stop Cavani on the one on one in 78th min
Damn.. Arsenal own-goal. Defender header deflected it in right in front of Ospina who would've had it. 78 .. Ospina denies Cavani on a one on one Edit: What Furnaccio said
Second half was more entertaining. And Ospina came out with some good saves. Shame about that own-goal.
Ospina had some good saves and had nothing to do in the goal (it was a beauty BTW). The only time he messed up was coming really short in a cross but deflected the ball enough to make the attacker misshit the ball. Balanta on the other side was horrible. He has good positioning and a very good touch for a CB but he makes too many mistakes when trying to clear the ball. Basel's defense was pathetic and his inability to clear those difficult balls (that elite CBs win and clear) was a big reason why they received 4 goals.
i didn't get to watch the game, but when i saw 4 goals, i was nervous that Balanta probably didn't have a good day. poor guy... Glad to see Ospina have a much better CL campaign this year relative to last year. last year i think he was 2 games and done before being replaced by Cech (i believe they said it was due to "injury" which I was always suspect about). Next round is going to be tough regardless who Arsenal draws. but i'm glad to see Wenger continue to give Ospina those minutes. i wonder if it makes sense to play Ospina in EPL games that precede a CL game so that he has match fitness and a rhythm going into that CL game.
He's off to play in China! Will be interesting to see how Pekerman handles this... In the past players have disappeared from view in China (Roger being one good recent exception), but Ospina is our undisputed #1...
where did you read this? i don't see anything on the Arsenal site....or general google search. i have mixed feelings about playing in China, but if it's true - he better be playing every game. those flights for the NT games are going to be a Pain the @$$ - better stock up on ambient so he can sleep on the plane - haha
